Merry Christmas!!!!...... and I mean it!

It's sad how department stores think they have to refer to the current season with an expression of "Happy Holidays" versus "Merry Christmas"!!! I mean, there is a reason for this being the Christmas season. Jesus IS the Reason for the Season! Anyway, that's my rant on that topic...

I really should update this more often. It could be a great opportunity to excel in my writing skills that will help me succeed both in college and a future career. But, why spend time writing endless blog posts when I could be syncing my new 30 GB 5th Generation Video iPod with my ever-growing music collection. I mean, that right there is meaning in life folks. Never will you find more purpose than in spending countless hours ripping hundreds of CD's to your hard drive disk, just to realize that your HDD isn't big enough, and you're going to have to make a trip to Fry's Electronics to spend money upgrading your PC with additional storage space. Seriously though, I really like the new gadget, and I'm glad I didn't have to wait until Christmas to get it! :-)

One thing I dislike is how it's so difficult to put a DVD onto the iPod (hello, Apple, why did you do this???)... come on, why force people to go through 3rd party programs to decrypt a DVD and convert to the MP4 video format for the iPod. I guess the music industry will forever be a complicated web of companies worried about their rights over a certain slice of the pie... who cares about the consumers' needs and wants...

OneThing I like is the OneThing Conference in Kansas City... it is Amazing!! I don't think I'll be able to go this year, but it's definitely a priority for me next year! Check out the promo video:

My new RAZR V3 cell phone is cool… now that I’m on a Cingular plan, I can talk to any other Cingular customers for FREE!!!! Yay!!! Oh, did I mention that the phone was free too? :-)

Hmm… I’m working on beating Call of Duty 2… the campaign is fun…

I can’t wait for the Texas game against Iowa in the Alamo Bowl on December 30th! Get ready, here’s my prediction: 31 – 21, TEXAS!!! HOOK ‘EM HORNS!!!

Music… the Newsboys’ new album is really cool; it’s on my Christmas list… check out http://www.myspace.com/newsboys to listen to some great songs from the new CD!

I am planning to begin a new form of blogging starting with my next post (which should be tonight… I know, isn’t that crazy???)… in the continuing blogging war of the cousins, this new battle plan will enable me to prevail in the end… ultimate VICTORY!!!

Cheers!

And MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm so thankful your beginning rant was brief; I'll kill the next person who starts that stupid overused complaint. So where's this "Next-Gen" blog I've heard you speak of? This first post seems just like a stripped down version of my stylings. (All poking aside, its good to have you up and going)
